Camping

Exit Glacier has a 12-site, tent-only campground. Sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis. There is a fourteen-day stay limit. The campground frequently fills by early evening in July and August.

Campers must be in a designated site and are limited to a maximum of two tents and/or eight people per site. You may not sleep in a RV, camper or other vehicle in the campground parking area and overnight parking is not permitted in any other part of the Exit Glacier area.

A central food storage, cooking and dining shelter is provided. Cooking and/or storing food in campsites is prohibited. There is a pump for drinking water and pit toilets are available. Pets are not permitted in campsites.

Backcountry camping is allowed throughout the park except within 500 feet of a public use cabin or within 1/8 mile of a road or trail at Exit Glacier.

Two of the campsites, #1 & #12, are accessible sites. Paths to the two sites, vault toilets, and cooking area are crushed rock or asphalt.
 

No. All campsites are first come, first served.

Proper food storage is mandatory throughout Kenai Fjords National Park. It is illegal to feed bears, either on purpose or by leaving food or garbage that attracts them. Make sure you know the rules and regulations for food storage before you camp at Kenai Fjords.

At the Exit Glacier Campground, central food storage, cooking and dining shelter is provided. Cooking and/or storing food in campsites is prohibited

Yes campfires are allowed, but please use Leave No Trace principles to reduce campfire impacts. Only wood that is dead and down may be collected by hand for fuel. In the Exit Glacier area, fires are limited to the steel fire rings at the campground cooking shelter and the picnic area. In other areas, we strongly encourage the use of fire pans and/or the building of fires below the tide line on beaches. Any trash and burnt food must be removed from fire rings and packed out with other garbage. If you build a fire ring in the backcountry, dismantle it and scatter the rocks to leave a more pristine site for the next user.

There are no Recreational Vehicle (RV) campsites within Kenai Fjords National Park. Overnight stay is not permitted in the Exit Glacier parking lot.

Tent and RV camping is also available in nearby Chugach National Forest and through the Seward Parks and Recreation Department. Look to the Seward Chamber of Commerce for information on private tent and RV campgrounds in the area.

Property may not be left unattended for longer than 30 days. It must be marked with the owners name and address, and cannot contain more than 10 gallons of fuel. Exceptions to this rule may be made by the Superintendent on a case by case basis through a Special Use Permit.
